The small crowd who lines the track apron and small metal grandstand are pretty friendly. About 20 "regulars" sit in the simulcast room sipping coffee and touting horses. A lady with a hot dog stand serves some great dogs with sauerkraut and mustard. Most of the money bet is from the signal they send everywhere. On a sunny day the view of the mountains along old Route 17B is still beautiful. And after the races.....great Italian food at the old "Frankie & Johnnnys" in Hurleyville. It's now called "Casa Mia". One waitress watched me grow up going there with my family. She's been there over 50 years. Get the chicken parm. Nothing better! LOL!
